Why is gambling so addicting?

[aranachristianjay]

I suggest if you already follow gambling, you try to remember the future of themselves and their families. whether gambling will prosper you and your family in the future?
I hope those who are not lucky and already become addicts can quit and especially aware of the risk of the loss.

Even if you are addicted there are options. Professional help can help you get out of this addiction.
Gambling can be like a disease but it's curable.

It may be curable, but these people will probably always be tempted to play. For some, it could be comparable to a drug habit.

It behaves in the same way a drug does when they only really feel excitement when they are playing for big money on gambling websites. They've done study of brain activity on gamblers and it shows to be just like drug use.

It does not totally behaves as an addiction to drugs.

Both of the drug users and gamblers are getting addicted, but that does not mean that the chemicals sent or produced by the brain for our emotions are the same as when you are taking a drugs.

Consider these chemicals in brain which is commonly produced when you are excited by doing something like gambling Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphin.

While in drugs, it mostly put negative effects on our brains does causing hallucinations, out of the world experience, and more, which is different to chemicals that I had just said above, does making them addicted to it.

Playing gambling is a choice especially if you come back for more, but using drugs are an addiction that requires more medical assistance and psychological assistance that it also cause a psychosis.

It's because of the big profit you get when you win.  And when you lose you want to make that money back by betting more than the amount you lost to recover it.  It's a vicious cycle unfortunately.

There is chance to win a lot money so players get started to have fun there but big winning change their way to gamble, no doubt any unexpected win can make them addicted even most of people lost very quickly right after the winning and than they keep trying to chase their loses and this thing make them get addictive.

Yes exactly when they chase their losses they start loosing more and more.
Once they are in profit with their wins, they start to think that its the time to make profit, while actually is the time to leave gambling and quit.

sadly that is true, chasing losses is the worst thing that anybody can do when gambling. i have been doing it for a long time before i quit it. when you lose you get frustrated and want to win it so you try harder and harder to win but it never works that way, so you only lose more.

I had a bad experience, when chasing losses. I always bet on anything and without analyzing. because I really want to recover my losses. but in the end it always ends with a loss. but at the moment I do not ever try to recover the defeat, I only bet when there are interesting games, such as Euro 2016, taking some interesting games and make a high profit.

That is the fastest way to lose, betting without analyzing. Just like in dice, there is no analyzing needed, just bet and click. In sports betting, you should analyze the stats and make bets accordingly. You can make good money that way, specially when you want to win back your losses.

Yeah you are right.

but still there are no surety of it that you are going to win in sports betting even you had analyzed it carefully.

In sports betting The chance of winning is the same as the percentage of losing so it means 50% of winning and losing, so still it is like in the dice.

if you want to actually earn and continuously earn money from it, then you should try to play a games that uses skills and strategy, like poker.

That's what we get when we are too greedy in gambling, if we cannot accept our loses most likely we can make a bad decision like chasing bets and when we do that, it gives us a big problem as we are already playing with rage and we cannot think clearly to carry our mission in gambling.

Yeah this is the problem for most gamblers they get too greedy also if they win and when they lose they try to recover the amount of money they'd lost. So they keep coming back even if nothing is left for them that's when it become an addiction.

Gambling is so addicting because it gives us the illusion that it's possible to become rich in just a few seconds. We just have to be "lucky" enough. Gambling is fun at first when you're still having profit but when you reach negative profit, it becomes challenging but it becomes frustrating as well. You would always regret that huge bet. You would always regret betting more than you can afford to lose. Gambling is fun, overall.

Exactly. Unfortunately it's an addiction that many people have and it's very hard to get over. There's always some sort of gambling around us in real life and especially in the bitcoin community so it's hard to overcome on your own. It's like any addiction, you should get help.

Addiction is something that we need to understand because that is the nature of gambling, it is addictive and it could ruin our life if we are irresponsible  enough and that might be our big mistake that we will only realize when our money is gone.

Let us learn from the experience of the broke gamblers as they are willing to share their stories here.

I don't know why but I always get a feeling to gamble, after then losing my money, I quit for some time and then continue, but I know I will lose my btc

Why is it so addictive?

Addictive. Gambling has become one of the most popular pastimes for people today. Whether it's betting on your favourite football team, playing the slot machine at a local casino, or pulling the trigger in a risky round of Russian roulette, gambling never seems to lose its appeal.

I think you cannot consider that as past time because most of the people are doing it full time, they have more of their time spent in gambling as they believe they can make money in the long run. And that repetitive action will make them addicted since they do did not get their goal yet.

Yeah it would be helpful if we can hear stories from people who've been there already and have learned their lessons. If we haven't experienced losing a huge amount yet, tendency is that we'll keep on betting and chasing losses until we're out of capital. Worse, our personal lives may very well be affected.

That's true, greed always makes us lose. it would be good if we could control ourselves and stop losing. maybe setting up loss or profit limits will help.

Greediness can make people to be addicted in the game but honestly most of the game or gambling games online for me are boring except poker .
Those other games like slots dice are boring for me..

Greediness happens from failure of controlling our emotions. Gambling is highly sensitive to our emotions and behaviours, if we fail to control any of them, then we will be facing negative things with gambling. One should be always very much careful in order to make profits from gambling.

People are usually feeling very casual while gambling that is the reason they are getting gambling addictions so quickly. Basically gambling is so addictive in nature and gamblers are highly vulnerable to be affected by it.

Controlling is not an easy task, takes huge efforts and dedication in order to stop ourselves from doing it.
Gambling is an addiction because we do it being overjoyed and when losing, we do it with sorrow, mixed emotions tbh.

Yes control themselves in gambling is indeed very difficult. Because if you win we will definitely continue to want to bet to be able get more money, and if you lose we will bet again to be able restore the defeat. It's that resulted in one continue to bet and eventually addiction. And if it has lost a lot'll regret.

Loss or profits, the gambler are always staying with gambling. Overstaying will definitely give addiction from anything and gambling is not an exception to addict gamblers. Controlling gambling hours to come out of its addiction requires a slow progress of daily practice. No one will be able to quit within one day.

The progress of quitting gambling definitely needs support from our family members otherwise no gamblers will be successful with his efforts of quitting gambling.

Thats the biggest problem there how emotions ruin our thinking and sometimes to think that we can bring back the money we lose which is wrong and whatever we do we cant unless we hit the jackpot then after that dont play gambling again impossible and posible things may happen it only depends how we handle it.
